The previous record was set in 2002 when Democrat Ed Rendell, the eventual winner, and Republican Mike Fisher, the loser, spent $56 million.

The new gubernatorial spending record level jumps to $82.5 million when expenses are factored in for three Democratic candidates who lost to Wolf in the May primary election, according to an analysis by the Associated Press.

Here’s a closer look at money for the last two men standing in the Nov. 4 election, according to campaign finance reports released Thursday by the Pennsylvania Department of State. The latest report was for spending and contributions between Oct. 21 to Nov. 24.

Wolf, a York County businessman and former state Revenue secretary, out raised and outspent Corbett with the help of $10 million of his own personal wealth.

Wolf raised $32.7 million and spent $32.4 million, which leaves him with $672,335 in his campaign account.

Corbett raised $28.3 million, which includes $3.5 million he carried forward from his 2010 victory account. He spent $28.1 million, leaving him with $200,888.

Wolf is sworn into office Jan. 20.

He could use some of that campaign money on the job, too, to plug an estimated $2 billion budget deficit by June 30, 2016.
